A Concept Innovation on Urban Personal Mobility

With the urbanization around the world, the automotive industry tries a lot on the challenge of transportation, especially on electric personal mobility. The paper poses a totally new concept that a car is small enough to be contained in a common elevator, which not only makes it possible to get into an apartment house and successfully solve the problems of charging and parking without further request of infrastructure, but also able to extend the range greatly by riding a metro, gives greater freedom for personal mobility. As a combination of a light scooter and a 4-wheeled car, and a house appliance, the concept is hi-tech, high efficiency, comfortable, safe, fashionable, and also has a striking urban styling. During the research, a method called OKARF is developed, which stands for Objective Knockdown and References Filtering. The implementation is to knockdown the objective into tasks, list out the references related to the tasks, filter out the references to generate the concept, which will be the new solution for the objective.
